I have jumped on the blog bandwagon!

I noticed on this board that a lot of people use the youbelong.net blog service. I really liked it so I started one for our Journey to Jake. I think it will be great because we have a lot of friends and family that live far away from us but have been so supportive throughout EVERYTHING we've gone through to become parents.


In a way it's a blog for those who have supported us.

I also want to say that for those of you in PGN I have a feeling things are really going to start moving. I truly do believe that! Here's to lots and lots of outs this week!

Wendy, I just peeked at your blog! You and DH are so adorable! And of course Mr. Baby Man is delicious!

If you don't mind my unsolicited advice, I would remove your last name (and any other identifying information about where you live). There are lots of whackadoos out there!

Congratulations again on getting OUT!! Speedy pink prayers coming at you!!

Thank you Stephanie for the advice. I will certainly remove my last name, etc. I guess I just got carried away

Thanks again for the advice. Glad you like the blog!
